sorry for the mistake i hit the wrong button just picked it up today never even took it for ride cause of weather getting part of hurricane.the pulls are tomorrow and just wandering if any body has any edvice on the 800 or tips on pulling.any help would be great.thanks

 

 

I have never done any pulls so I can't give you any advise but I do hope you smoke them all. Good luck.

 

we had pulls 2weeks ago and a 2005 800 polaris dominated the guy only had 2 miles on it nothing could touch it .sportsman70003 when you put the 800 header on did it get hot enough to melt the plastic,i bought header wrap to cover the exaust header when i had it running in garage the plastic got real hot.how did you do your reverse override mod and 3 way headlight mod?

 

Yea my header has caused my plastic to melt. I have some pics here and I have a fix with some brackets that hold the plastic away from the header. I have Direction for the reverse override but I don't know if it will work on the 06's if you want them I can send them to you. I got the 3way headlight mod off ebay but I think I see have the directions some where. I will try to find them and let you know how to do it.

 

sportsman70003 here is my email to send the mods to willy_19772001@yahoo.com.

 

by the way sportsman70003 how did you do your sway bar disconnect and how did it effect the ride and handling?

 

The swaybar disconnect I bought off ebay and you basicly pull 2 pins to disconnect it. I only use the disconnect when I'm rock crawling and it lets the rear tires stay on the ground better. You can't ride it over 30 or 35mph because it gets way to swirly. I really like it I have went places in 2wd where my friends 700 use 4wd so I do think it helps when rock crawling.

 

at least break in the engine a little bit before u pull hard

 

I took my sway bar out. That's what the dealer said that Polaris told them to do when people complained of the rear end being too stiff. I'm only 140 pounds, so even with the preload all the way down the ride was real rough. With no sway bar, the articulation is great and the ride much much smoother. However, it results in a great deal of understeer, so if you try to slide around a corner all you do is lift a front tire and understeer.

It makes it ride like you would imagine a Jeep riding. You can't slide a jeep around a corner.
